Zerohour and I would like to invite all UK members to a meetup at the Museum of Computing in Swindon on Saturday 17th May 2008.
If you follow the UK computer press, you may be aware that the museum has to find a new home shortly, so this may be a last chance to see the exhibits for a while. Zerohour is a volunteer there (and a member here), so we may be able to see some of the kit that is normally in the archives.
Unfortunately, the date is pretty fixed. The museum will have to move shortly afterwards, and the 17th is the last date that really suits the museum and me. The visit will be in the morning (ie early start) but I daresay that we can regroup afterwards for a natter elsewhere. Apologies if this date is in the middle of your exam preparations or similar, but if the day works, we'll look at another meetup at a friendlier time. Note that this is a social occasion, so don't bring along your latest hack beacuse we are all going to be engrossed by weirder, older stuff.
Send me a private message if you are interested. Comments and queries are welcome in this thread.
